Under what circumstances could a played card be changed?

In the following simplified scenario, dummy had A8 of spade and East had Jx. Declarer led the 9 from hand and West followed with an irrelevant x. Declarer called for the 8 from dummy and East meant to play the jack but pulled out the x instead. Is this a played card or an unintended designation?

It's a played card. An unintended designation is usually a card that was named rather than played.

I would say that a card which is put in the played position is never any kind of "designation", unintended or otherwise.

I agree, usually named, never played, sometimes neither (pointed at for example).

The way I understand the term is that Declarer designates a card when he names it to be played from dummy.

A defender (and also in case Declarer) designates a card for instance by saying: "I play the Ace of clubs" or words to similar effect.

So often a correct and complete answer is given, and then others feel the need to weigh in...
